The first thing you notice when you pick up the 16
Certate is its solid feel. The machined super alloy body and Zaion rotor
are incredibly strong yet lightweight. The precision engineering
supports the re-vamped high accuracy Digigear II drive and silent
oscillation system to produce smoother rotary efficiency and increased
cranking power like never before. Combine this with Magsealed and
Magsealed Bearings and the 16 Certate is the smoothest, most powerful
reel Daiwa has ever released.

Employing Daiwa’s ultimate reel technology –
Magsealed, Magsealed Bearings, Magsealed Line Roller, ATD, Zaion,
Airbail (one piece construction), Digigear II and an all new Air Rotor,
each Certate is individually constructed and made with the highest
quality materials available. Designed for the serious angler, the 2016
Certate sets the standard for the ultimate and future in spinning reel
technology

The latest collection is also designed to serve across
the widest range of lure fishing methods ever. Starting with a shallow
spool 1003 for ultra light soft lure and spinning, through various PE
friendly versions right up to a quartet of four powerful HD models that
all sport the unique Monocoque body.

MONOCOQUE BODY

Strength is everything in a larger reel. A solid base
is the most important component for any reel. 16 Certate HD introduces
an all-new design… Monocoque Body. The Monocoque body is a symmetrical,
one-piece structure that will revolutionize future generations of
spinning reel design.

The Certate HD (heavy duty) 3500 and 4000 models were
designed for offshore fishing or lure casting from rocky shores to
target hard fighting fish. They need to be strong and resilient to the
elements. Originally the HD models were extremely popular, introduced
more than 10 years ago. Daiwa re-introduces the HD models into the 16
Certate range with a focus on body strength that is delivered through
this revolutionary new body design.

The gears of the new Certate HD models are embedded in
the one-piece Monocoque body construction. Previously the body and a
side cover/plate held the gearing in place. The new design allows the HD
models to be more rigid, with a better sealing mechanism, heralding the
arrival of the next generation in reel design.
